Northampton Town 0-2 Hull City: Report
Hull City made it three wins from their opening three Sky Bet League One fixtures with a 2-0 success at Northampton Town on Saturday afternoon.
Late first half goals from Keane Lewis-Potter and George Honeyman saw the Tigers take control of the game and they saw it through after half time to also record a third successive league clean sheet.
Hakeeb Adelakun came straight into Grant McCann’s starting eleven following his midweek loan move from Bristol City and played down the right, with the in-form Mallik Wilks was missing. Also absent was skipper Richie Smallwood, with his place taken by Alfie Jones whose first league start for the Club came in midfield. Honeyman wore the captain’s armband.
